Abstract: The Blackwell-MacQueen description of sampling from a Dirichlet random distribution on an abstract space is reviewed, and extended to a general family of random discrete distributions. Results are obtained by application of Kingman's theory of partition structures. 1 Introduction Blackwell and MacQueen [10] described the construction of a Dirichlet prior distribution by a generalization of P'olya's urn scheme. While the notion of a random discrete probability measure governed by a Dirichlet... (Update)
